Does not satisfy musical notability or general notability. No independent in-depth coverage either in the references or on Google search. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:50, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Journeyman musician who has been a member of various bands of differing degrees of notability, but not independently notable. References are all of him in context of one band or another. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Waltons (Canadian band). Every musician who exists does not automatically get a standalone article as a separate topic from his band — he needs to attain his own independent notability for his own activity outside the band, such as releasing albums as a solo artist, before he gets a separate article. But what we have here is a musician who was a member of one notable band, and has otherwise been a session musician for other artists since then — which is not how a musician gets notable enough for a standalone bio. As well, this is an WP:AUTOBIO written by the subject himself, and even a person who does meet our notability standards still doesn't get to put himself into Wikipedia per our conflict of interest rules. Nothing here constitutes an WP:NMUSIC pass, and he doesn't pass WP:GNG either as he isn't the subject of any of the sources. Bearcat (talk) 20:18, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Waltons (band). I can't find in-depth coverage to warrant a standalone article, so it seems reasonable to instead redirect this to the band of which he was a member.  gongshow  talk  07:59, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
